(A/N: Just to clear up any confusion (I want to avoid that, lol.)This chapter takes place a few minutes after the first chapter, with Grover beating the crap out of him. So obviously Percy is hurt very badly and only woke up because he heard Annabeth crying. Also, don't expect every chapter to be v1 with major edits. This scene isn't the "Big smooch" scene. If you spot an error or are confused PLEASE let me know. Thanks.)
Brace yourself, v2. Chapter 2: Annabeth breaks down.
"Percy…" A familiar voice sobbed.
"Please wake up, please!"
I felt a light thud on my chest. My eyes just wouldn't open, they were so friggin' heavy!
"Is-is that you? Annabeth?" I croaked.
The sobs grew louder. "Percy, I'm so sorry. I should have meet you have earlier. Its all to my fault!'
(Earlier, Annabeth was supposed to meet Grover and I at my cabin, so I could tell them the news about the training.)
It's not her fault, damn it! I just wish I could open my eyes and see her. I'll have to compromise.
My whole body felt like lead on fire, but I managed to raise my right arm. I stroked her wet cheek.
"Snap out of it, Wisegirl. I don't know what happened, but you saved me from him. If there's anyone to blame, it's me. I found an opening, but I didn't take the opportunity. I don't regret it, either. Besides, I'm alright now."
Something rose in my chest and I coughed heavily. From the coppery taste, it was probably blood. I felt a wet cloth wipe my lips.
"OK, bad example."
I heard her laugh sadly.
"Thanks, Percy. You're a great friend, but you're not even close to alright. You can't even open your eyes!"
"Oh yeah, just watch me!"
I tried, really I did. But they wouldn't open.
"See, if I had got here earlier…" She sniffed.
Dammit, open your eyes man! Do it! OPEN!
I opened my eyes, and was greeted by an angel with blond hair and gray eyes; a blue sky behind her beautiful face.
Wait a second, its Annabeth, NOT an angle. Where the hell did that thought come from?
"Told you so."
It was as though someone was forcing a cigarette on my eye, the pain was so intense. But I endured it, because something about Annabeth's shocked and happy expression made me.
Then she slowly put her head downward, blond hair raining on my cheeks. Her eyes closed, as did mine. Then an extremely pleasant soft pressure hit my lips. Something wet fell on my face, and I realized she was crying. The pressure lifted.
(Simultaneously) "Percy, I think I lov-!" Annabeth blurted.
(Simultaneously) "Annabeth, I think I lov-!" I blurted.
I heard a snap and Annabeth yell in absolute agony.
What's going on? Is she hurt or something? I've got to help her! Move Percy! Get your ass off the fucking grou-!
Pain I thought unimaginable consumed me.

A/N:End of a very short and chessy second chapter. Don't think this is the last of the Annabeth angst stuff. She deferentially wont be nearly as OOC as Brace yourself v1, but don't expect her to be perfect as usual. What you CAN expect is Annabeth POV chapters later.
I've got more to type, but I think I' going to take a nap or something. I'm tired.
Anyway, I want 4 reviews for next chapter. I've had 83 hits so far, and only 2 reviews. That's pathetic. So yeah, I dare you to keep thinking "I'm not reviewing, I'm too lazy."
I'll wait until I get four before I update, (Even if it takes months.) because I would like help or encouragement.
So don't just put "Here's your friggin' review, now update you fucker!" Unless that's truly all you have to say.
Later.
